Was it one of you guys who got this tank? Apparently I just missed out to "one of my Aussie neighbours'' ;D

Any one know if they the same tanks that Bert Flood Used on his Pursangs??
-
I have got the same tank, its a hi point tank.
-
Should be here in a few weeks ;D
Will have to see about the dent but does not look too serious
-
Each to their own, but I reckon they're pig ugly, especially if you're changing from a standard Husky MX tank (even the older MJ series). Might be OK on something else, but not my "cup of tea". Please not on one of those sewing machines Mike.

Just my opinion but i reckon they look Shithot on Bultacos ;)

The Hi-Point (Lyta) tanks come in 3 sizes to my knowledge, 1 gallon, 1.5 gallon and 2 gallon. I've got a 1.5 gallon version (the same as the one sold to Gippslander) on my Hindall Ducati and I figured that tank would be good for one of the projects but I was too late. You win some, you lose some so good on ya Gippslander, it was a good buy. Tom the seller's come back to me, telling me he's got a more badly knocked about one that he'll sell me if I'm interested...I'm waiting on the photos before I commit myself.

Geoff Morris did a magic job repairing my dinged up Cheney tank, that dent would be a piece of piss for him. ;)

I'm pretty sure Bert Flood used the 1 gallon version on his Pursang's and Rob Watson who owned the Pursangs's Ronnie Dinsdale rode in the early vintage days also had them on his bikes.
I've got a pristine enduro 2 gallon Hi-Point tank that I's like to swap for a 1 gallon 'skinny' version. My tank's just the ticket for someone building a pre '75 vinduro bike, they look terrific on Huskies and surprisingly, Maico's. If any of you are interested in a swap, PM me and we'll take it to the next level.

Hi BigK, well at least I know you won't be tryin' to buy it ;D
Not sure if it will go on anything, just saw it there and did the impulse thing, t'was a thing of beauty and I could not resist ::)

How far off is this?

holtworks.co.uk makes replicas, with the Monza-cap

KB, you may need to look at the bsab50 1 gallon tanks
-
I have Hi Point for my cantilever Cheney, they have a pretty narrow tunnel and probably won't fit everything. B50MX seems to fit most bikes..... anything with Monza cap is cool
Plastic B50MX replica are cheap and cheerful alternative if you plan to ride the bike.

Anyone see those tanks coming out of India - will they get around the vmx tracks or just stay with the road bike's.?
cheers

Shown below is an identical tank to my 2 gallon Homerlite/Hi-Point. I'd like to swap it for a skinny 1 gallon version of the same tank. A 1.5 gallon would work as well. My tank's in perfect condition except for a coating of orange paint that'll come off in a flash with a quick brush over of paint remover. I'd prefer not to sell it as I'd piss the money up on something I don't need ;D. I'd much rather do a swap but if you really need it give me a PM hoy. Thanks to Flowerpot Ben for the photos, I'm having a camera format problem and can't post photos of my tank atm.
